Lawyer Referral and Information Service - A Public Service of the Bar Association of San Francisco

The Senior Legal Services Program (SLSP)

Low-income adults age 65 and older receive a free, 30-minute consultation, with an attorney experienced in what they need. Growing older presents new opportunities as well as changes in health, lifestyle, family connections, and more. Whether you personally are experiencing these changes or are caring for aging relatives, you are not alone. Contacting a lawyer can help avoid much aggravation, family discord, and confusion.

When you call, trained LRIS staff will briefly interview you about your legal situation to refer you to the appropriately experienced attorney. Other agency referrals that may better suited to a particular need are also available through the LRIS.

When LRIS makes a referral you can be assured that the attorney has been screened. The attorney referred to you has met professional experience requirements, carries malpractice insurance and is in good standing with the State Bar of California. In addition, the LRIS conducts ongoing oversight of the attorneys and services provided.

If we determine that we cannot assist you with your particular issue, we will attempt to refer you to an appropriate agency or organization.
